I got caught up on all the parts for En Provence, the Quiltville mystery. The V-block ruler is a great tool to make the isosceles triangles.
I have two more Snapware boxes in this size to hold the next units.
I alternated the En Provence units with the Block Lotto pieced strings blocks. Which were the leaders and which were the enders? When I had about 36 string blocks on the wall I auditioned a skinny black sashing strip. Nope. I surveyed my stash and a bright Australian print (bought at the Madison show in September) popped to the top. Ah-ha! Here's the work in progress.The string blocks are 6.5" unf/6" fin. As shown, 54" x 66". Maybe I'll add a narrow outer border of the Aussie print. Maybe I won't.
I cut a bunch of 2" strips to 9", pieced them in fives, and trimmed the resulting blocks to 8". Stay tuned!

What a great beginning on your string block quilt. Yep the pink is wonderful with them. Ah, to be a productive as you are. I have my moments but it sure hasn't been this month. Have a joyful Christmas this year.
ReplyDeleteYou are on a roll! The mystery has been fun and I am enjoying seeing everyone's work. Merry Christmas and happy sewing!
ReplyDeleteYou made great progress on both projects. I really like the addition of the red to your string blocks, it's a very nice pop of color.
